Sorting child pages as they are created - confluence

I am newbie in Confluence and I want to know how how can we sort child pages in the side bar as they are created.
Child pages are now displaying in alphabetical order. I just created multiple child pages, like "January", "February", "March", "April".
It's displaying in the following order:
April
February
January
March
I want them in the following order:
January
February
March
April

You can sort child pages manually - see Changing the page order manually
Changing the page order manually
To change the order of pages in the space:
Go to a page in the space and choose Pages in the sidebar. For more options, choose Browse and reorder all pages.
Or, if you are using the Documentation theme, choose Browse > Pages at the top of the screen.
Choose Browse and Reorder Pages (default theme only).
Expand the branches of the tree to find the page family you wish to sort.
Drag each page to a new position in the tree.
When you drag a page to a new position, the order of the page family
changes to Manual. Newly added pages will not be sorted
alphabetically, but will appear at the bottom of the list.

After creating a top level category, the category itself is part of it

I recently created a new category which should appear on my page. This category should have 3 Items which should be as well displayed directly on the main page. But instead my category is shown on the top page, but I have to select it first to view my 3 Items in it.
To show my 3 Items, I can click on either "Connectivity Management".
It looks as if I had 2 Categories in each other, but that's not the case. I definitely have just one.
I had a look at the servicenow documentation about categories, but there was no hint about my problem.
I am using the FUJI release.
Any Idea how I can remove the bottom category?
I have other top level categories which work just as I wanted them, I compared both and found no difference.

How to insert different text with different format on each page in Libre Office Writer?

How can I add a different text to each header and footer of each page in LibreOffice Writer? If I edit the header of a page, the text automatically changes on the others. I want them to behave independently.
EDIT: What I would like to achieve is this: let's say I have 7 pages, the first one doesn't have neither a header or a footer, it's just a simple page with an image.
The second page should have an "INDEX" header and a footer at the bottom of the page with the page number "2" on the right. The third page should have another header, or better a header with a different text, different text-size and with italic style, and the footer should have the page number "3", and so on.
If I click Insert->Fields->Number of pages I get the total of the pages of my document and this is not what I am looking for. But also clicking on Insert->Fields->Number of page doesn't help cause if I have e.g. the "INDEX" page and I click on Insert->Fields->Number of page, I get the number "3" instead of the number "2". Also I have noticed that my footer style is different on some pages, how can I make it the same for every page?
For different page numbering, you will have to use page styles. If your document contains a front page, one or more index pages, and the main content pages, you could create three different page styles (frontmatter, index, maincontent). To change from one page style to the next one, you need to set manual page breaks, telling LibreOffice which page style to use after the page break: Menu Insert -> Manual Break:
Using the "Style" ComboBox, you can select the page style to use for the pages following the break.
For each page style, you can set different headers / footers, e.g. to hide page numbering on the front page. Also, you can set the page numbering to start with 1 instead of the "physical" page number (for example, if the front page doesn't count as page 1, you could set the following page style to start with 1 instead 2).
The most important point is diving the document in logical units using page styles. After this is done, you can set different paragraph styles for each page element (header, footer), allowing to set a different text size only for the header of the "index" part of your document.

I want to create a vertically expanding content bar

Actually, I wanted to create a sidebar with 6 items, which show the content in a dropdown format.
For eg, if you click company, the content about company expands downwards, along with other five menu items. If you click any other item, the above one needs to close and this item should expand.
I want something like the sidebar in JsFiddle.net
Seems like what you are talking about is similar to jquery Ui's accordion:

Is it possible to not show \xrefitem pages in the top level treeview?

I'm using ALIAS and \xrefitem to gather a specific list of comments into a separate page for reference. This is working fine, however, each of these specific pages appear in the top level treeview. For other page/subpage hierarchies I've built a MarkDown index page that shows in the top level, and then references the others, thus keeping my treeview neat. I've done the same for the xrefitem pages, and the index page works fine, but the xrefitem pages still appear in the top level treeview.
Is there any way I can stop this, to keep my treeview clean?
Cheers
Paul
Try this in a markdown file (or work it into your existing mainpage):
Scratch {#mainpage}
==================================
\subpage custom
\xrefitem xrefitem_subpage "xrefitem Heading" "xrefitem Title" Item to document
\page custom My Custom Pages

Group Header does not start on a new page even when 'Start on a new page' is checked

I need a specific text to come on a new page.
So I create a dummy group and add the field to the group.
But when I set property ' start on a new page' to true, it still continues with the Detail section.
Please help.
I am using IReport 3.5
I believe the flag you are playing with forces the group header to appear at the top of a page, not at the top of all pages. That is if you have 19.5 pages of detail, you will have the header on the top of page 1 and the top of page 20. I believe you are seeing more than one page of detail, so it is not ready to redraw the group you defined.
